Chevrolet has confirmed the Camaro muscle car will finish production at the end of the 2024 model year.
The final examples of the sixth-generation Camaro will leave the assembly line at Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant, Michigan, in January 2024. To commemorate the occasion, Chevrolet will offer a series of special Collector’s Edition cars.
Available in both coupe and convertible body styles, the Collector’s Edition package can be combined with RS and SS trim levels.
Saying farewell, for now
Chevrolet will also offer the Collector’s Edition for a small number of high-performance ZL1 models. In 2018, the Camaro ZL1 1LE set a new lap record around the legendary Nurburgring race circuit in Germany, aided by its 650 hp supercharged V8 engine.
The contents of the Collector’s Edition package, and prices, will be confirmed closer to when order books open this summer.
Despite a lineage that stretches back to 1966, Chevrolet has not confirmed plans for a Camaro replacement. Scott Bell, vice president of Global Chevrolet, said: “While we are not announcing an immediate successor today, rest assured this is not the end of Camaro’s story”.
The rival Dodge Challenger also finishes production this year, leaving the Ford Mustang as the only remaining true North American muscle car.
Still ready to race
Chevrolet currently uses the Camaro name in various motorsport championships around the world. This includes multiple levels of NASCAR competition, along with IMSA and SRO sportscar racing.
This year also saw the Camaro join the Australian Repco Supercars Championship, built to Gen3 regulations to rival the Ford Mustang. Chevrolet has confirmed the Camaro name will continue in racing, at least for now.
“Chevrolet’s products and our relationship with our customers benefit from motorsports,” said Jim Campbell, Chevrolet U.S. vice president for performance and motorsports. “Our plan is to continue to compete and win at the highest levels of auto racing.”
